How Great Your Love Is For Me.

We just don't get it......do we?

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Rom. 5:5

Since the time, God has created human beings, He has been pouring out His love on us. He has denied Himself by giving up His only begotten son on the cross. He has loved us and is Love. He will love us forever and ever.

(Meaning pause)

What else is there to say when it comes to the Love of God for us? His love is so not like our understanding of love. We are not even scratching the surface of what it means to Him, to love us with His everlasting love.

We get a glimpse of it by experiencing the love of a parent to the child. For those who have fond memories during their childhood of their parents, count yourself fortunate. It is a small image on how God loves us.

As a spouse loving our husband/wife,  if it is a true loving relationship, we get a glimpse on how Jesus loves us.

But the ultimate love toward us is shown in God's forgiveness toward us. When we know, we deserve punishment for whatever we have done in sin. His love expressed in mercy and grace is the most amazing part of love there is.

What is your most memorable experience of God's love toward you?

Selah....pause and ponder on it.

Or maybe you have not ever consciously experienced His love. It is time that we understand His love for us. What a waste of His time when we reject His love over and over. But often, we have such trauma and disappointment in our hearts/souls that we cannot open ourselves to God.
We may need the help of another to engage into the presence of God. We may just ask Him to show Himself to us. Why wouldn't He? He created us for Him, to love us.

You may have believed in God for a very long time, and have gone through the motions of life, lost the connection heart to heart with God. It is never too late to rekindle the passion of God's love toward us. He is waiting patiently for us to return to our FIRST LOVE.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

My prayer today: Father help us to open our hearts and minds toward You to find out just how much You really love us.

Selah........
